Fire Emblem Heroes. The game portion was nearly perfect pocket FE. But of course that was all just a wrapper for the gacha, and it only took a few months of playing before I cracked open the wallet. It's just a few bucks, the game was free, what's the harm? Things just went downhill from there. Rationally, I knew it was madness. I kept a spreadsheet tracking spend and results. And I knew that odds of rolling someone new went from bad to worse the more complete my roster got, but the hooks were in deep. It got BAD.
Took me a year and a half to delete my account, and just as long to dig myself out of the financial crater my face made.
In 2006, Dyack said "absolutely yes" in response to the question of a possible sequel. He stated that Silicon Knights had intended for Eternal Darkness to be a stand-alone game, but they wanted to make more games set in the same universe involving the Ancients.[54][55] At Microsoft's Spring 2008 Showcase, Dyack said there was a "strong chance" they would return to the Eternal Darkness brand.[56] In 2011, Silicon Knights said they were refocusing on one of their most requested titles for the next generation of consoles. This, combined with the fact that Nintendo had trademarked the title once again, spawned rumors that an Eternal Darkness game would be a launch title for Nintendo's Wii U console.[57] However, the project was cancelled due to Silicon Knights' legal troubles with Epic Games.[58] Any possibility for a sequel from Silicon Knights ended in 2013 when Silicon Knights filed for bankruptcy and closed its offices.[59] Nintendo has repeatedly renewed the Eternal Darknesstrademark, stirring rumors of sequels or re-releases.[60][61][62][63]
Followed by Dyack forming another studio, botching three crowdfunding attempts, forming another studio, then shuttering the project.
She talked about how many of the US military structures are actually quite socialized (everyone at the same rank gets the same salary, free healthcare, etc.)
I love how we're told socialism is awful and bad for the public, and yet for the military it's a perk for serving your country. "Of course they deserve housing and healthcare and education, they're risking their lives for our freedom!" So are you rewarding them or punishing them?
Then you'll play the DLC with the updated graphics etc. There's nothing mystical about the upgrade pack - it's just engine optimizations to let the game run natively on new hardware, probably some revamped textures, etc. The base game has been DLC-aware since the DLC was released. Having the DLC doesn't change the game code, it just makes the extra content accessible.
Yeah I think the latter is a done deal at this point. Might as well do some deposing along the way.
